wetsounds 650s. if your gona do it do it right! i just upgraded to these and still use the same clarion amps as i did with stock clarion speakers people are like "dam" what did you do get a whole new stero it sounds so much better they think i have put in bigger better amps and all i did was switch to the wetsounds 650s. new wetsounds sub next week or so.

I swapped out the stock kicker speakers out of my boat last season, switched to polk momo's and sounds way better. You can't drive the kickers with very much power, that 1/2" tweeter starts to sound nasty pretty quick. You can get the polks for less than half the price of the wetsounds.

Admittedly the 850.4 Might be a little much, but the 650.4 is perfect for them. I know, b/c I've been running them off of a 650.4 with no problems for 2 years now. Those speakers call for 75 Max, and the 650.4 will give you about ~ 85W x 4 @ 4Ohms. Gives you a bit of headroom to play with.

***Correction*** I just caught that he was using the Marine speakers, and not the KS650.2's. But the specs are almost identical and therefore the 650.4 would still be a great choice.

Tanner that's wierd the specs I've seen on the 650.4 are 120 watts rms at 4 ohms, and since they are pretty underrated probably looking at closer to 150 rms at 4 ohms. You sure you use that amp, I think you're getting your specs mixed up somewhere. That's to much amp for those speakers.

Your probably closer to right about the 120. Kicker doesn't post their 4 Ohm specs on these amps for some reason on their site. So I just divided the 2 Ohm spec in half.... yes I know that you don't really get double your power into 2 Ohms like many claim.

And yes... I use the ZX650.4. I have an 850.4 for the tower speakers, a 650.4 for my interior speakers, and a ZX750.1 for my sub.

Over at Tigeowners, we have one of Kicker's marine engineers, Phil.... he even said the 650.4 was a good choice for those speakers.

I personally don't think to much power is a bad thing (to a point) .... UNTIL you get stupid with the gains. I personally like keeping my gains down, and having some headroom. Even when I used to compete in SQ in IASCA, I always gave my components more power than they needed. Underpowering causes more problems than overpowering.
